As I recall, printing the calibration swatch from Media Explorer should be all that is needed. A close examination of the ramps should be able to show if only a single ink color is present in each ramp (that is what is needed). I recall scaling the calibration chart to about 115 percent to make...

In the Arlon video, the linearization is referenced around the 3:00 minute mark - it is the calibration chart that is printed after the single channel ink restrictions have been entered.

Based on your workflow, Versaworks Media Explorer is where the following steps need to be performed: - single channel ink restrictions - linearization - total ink limit The ICC profile itself would need to be created in a 3rd-party color engine such as i1Profiler or ProfileMaker or...

In the USA, all HP Latex 300 Series printers include a perpetually-licensed SAI RIP in the box - this includes the 315, 335, and 365.

Change your sleep wait time value to less than 60 minutes.

Adjustments are performed from the printer front panel > Substrate Library > Select Media > Pen Icon next to Print Mode being used > adjust temp - note that the vacuum setting is located under Advanced Settings. Be sure to save the changes on the way out.

Re-linearization does not require a new printhead, but it does require a color measurement instrument called a spectrophotometer that is supported in your RIP.

To draw on a widely-used analogy: large-format printers are akin to musical instruments, such as a piano or a guitar. They all require re-tuning at periodic intervals to bring them back to producing the proper tones. The area that will be most noticeable with a non-linear printing device is...

You are missing/ deflecting a fairly significant number of nozzles in the LC. That may be enough to reduce the density of that ink and shift neutrals warm - LC is used extensively when printing gray tones. Re-linearizing might bring you back to neutral. With Roland equipment that task will...

The sequence of stages in Onyx (and other RIPs) has long been expressed using a Pyramid, where the process starts at the bottom, and proceeds in step-by-step order to the top. You cannot rearrange the order of operations. See attached.

On the cutter front panel > menu set the Condition Priority to Program

The density used for white ink will determine its translucence or opacity. Lower densities will be more translucent, while higher white ink densities are amazingly opaque - even to the point of white ink covering black substrates with an L* value > 90! There is also the ability for day/night...

Device Dependency in action http://www.chromix.com/ColorSmarts/smartNote.cxsa?snid=1005&pid=1.cn22 Solution - proper implementation of color management.

The Optimizer is not analogous to adhesion promoter. Optimizer immobilizes the pigment in the ink on contact, to control dot gain and pins the ink dot in place. Optimizer allows for higher quality printing at faster speed. It is also among the inks with the lowest consumption profile. Optimizer...

This is the essence of Device Dependency in action. The best analagy I've heard to explain this is: http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/The_Color_of_Toast

Yes I have, a number of years ago. It is a great foundation to help PSPs learn the science of color management.

Media profiles for HP Latex 300 Series printers are listed on the RTape web for RTape VinylEFX media among others. See attached.
